Here is one example: Just this week I posted a comment on this article about the growing perils of a cashless society and my comment about how Bitcoin could solve some of these problems is now the "worst" comment with no thumbs up and all thumbs down! Really!? I don't know why that bothers me so much. Sigh. Oh well. I guess I have to be thankful that I will be "up the hill" when the tsunami does hit.
Here is the article BTW:

You seem to be forgetting that:
bot increased price -> increase in price caused huge media coverage & hype -> which increased number of users, apps and usage -> a new and higher "natural" price is established because of new users. You can't just say it should go back to before the bot started.
